Most units were purchased by foreign property investors, due to the price per sf is higher than the current KLCC area market price. This property is targeted for foreign purchasers and it is promoted in Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan. Nestled in the heart of the Central Business District, The Ruma is just minutes of walk away from night spots, fancy restaurants, bistros, prime shopping malls and office towers. Not only that, it offers iconic views of Petronas Twin Towers, Royal Golf Club and Pavilion. Without any doubt, it is full of potential. It is tagged at today's latest similar hotel plus service apartments project pricing range around RM3,000 psf in the future such as Four Season Place, St Regis, The Harrods Hotel & Residences and W Hotel & Residences.Most of the residences size unit around KLCC area is more than 2,000 sf. The Ruma unit layout is around 915 sf with 2 + 1 size could be an advantage strategy plan in the future. If the rent target around RM7,000 to RM8,000 for the 915 sf still the range affordable for the international company employee tenant. The key point for every property is the management team of the building. If the URC could keep the good management of it and it will bring the value.
